Q: Entity Framework Updating with Related Entity I'm using the EF to try to update an entity with ASP.NET. I'm creating an entity, setting it's properties then passing it back to the EF on a separate layer with the ID so the change can be applied. I'm doing this because I only store the ID of the entity when it's been bound to the UI controls.
Everything works for standard properties, but I can't update the Category.ID of a Product (a related entity). I've tried EntityKey, EntityReference and a few other but the category ID isn't saved. This is what I have:
Product product = new Product();
product.CategoryReference.EntityKey = new EntityKey("ShopEntities.Categories", "CategoryID", categoryId);
product.Name = txtName.Text.Trim();
... other properties
StockControlDAL.EditProduct(productId, product);

public static void EditProduct(int productId, Product product) {
 using(var context = new ShopEntities()) {
     var key = new EntityKey("ShopEntities.Products", "ProductID", productId);
     context.Attach(new Product() { ProductID = productId, EntityKey = key });
     context.AcceptAllChanges();
     product.EntityKey = key;
     product.ProductID = productId;
     context.ApplyPropertyChanges("ShopEntities.Products", product);
     context.SaveChanges();
 }
}

I really want to use the EF but I seem to be having a few problems with using it with ASP.NET.

A: The reason this fails is two fold.

*

*In order to update a Reference (i.e. Product.Category) you have to have the original reference value in the context too.

*ApplyPropertyChanges(...) only applies to regular / scalar properties of the Entity, the reference is left unchanged

So I would do something like this (Note this code makes heavy use of a trick called stub entities to avoid mucking around with EntityKeys)
Product product = new Product();
// Use a stub because it is much easier.
product.Category = new Category {CategoryID = selectedCategoryID};
product.Name = txtName.Text.Trim();
... other properties

StockControlDAL.EditProduct(productId, originalCategoryID);

public static void EditProduct(Product product, int originalCategoryID ) {
 using(var context = new ShopEntities())
 {
     // Attach a stub entity (and stub related entity)
     var databaseProduct = new Product {
             ProductID = product.ProductID,
             Category = new Category {CategoryID = originalCategoryID}
         };
     context.AttachTo("Products", databaseProduct);

     // Okay everything is now in the original state
     // NOTE: No need to call AcceptAllChanges() etc, because
     // Attach puts things into ObjectContext in the unchanged state

     // Copy the scalar properties across from updated product
     // into databaseProduct in the ObjectContext
     context.ApplyPropertyChanges("ShopEntities.Products", product);

     // Need to attach the updated Category and modify the
     // databaseProduct.Category but only if the Category has changed.
     // Again using a stub.
     if (databaseProduct.Category.CategoryID != product.Category.CategoryID)
     {
         var newlySelectedCategory =
                 new Category {
                     CategoryID = product.Category.CategoryID
                 };

         context.AttachTo("Categories", newlySelectedCategory)

         databaseProduct.Category = newlySelectedCategory;

     }

     context.SaveChanges();
 }
}

This will do the job, assuming no typos etc.

A: This is accepted answer to this question Strongly-Typed ASP.NET MVC with Entity Framework
context.AttachTo(product.GetType().Name, product);
ObjectStateManager stateMgr = context.ObjectStateManager;
ObjectStateEntry stateEntry = stateMgr.GetObjectStateEntry(model);
stateEntry.SetModified();
context.SaveChanges();

Have you tried out that?
[Updated, code on top does not work]
This is small extension property I used so next code block is easier to understand:
public partial class Product
{
    public int? CategoryID
    {
        set
        {
           CategoryReference.EntityKey = new EntityKey("ShopEntities.Categories", "CategoryID", value);
        }
        get
        {
            if (CategoryReference.EntityKey == null)
                return null;

            if (CategoryReference.EntityKey.EntityKeyValues.Count() > 0)
                return (int)CategoryReference.EntityKey.EntityKeyValues[0].Value;
            else
                return null;
        }
    }
}

and that worked for me (this time for sure):
System.Data.EntityKey key = new System.Data.EntityKey("ShopEntities.Products", "ProductID", productId);
        object originalItem;

        product.EntityKey = key;
        if (context.TryGetObjectByKey(key, out originalItem))
        {
            if (originalItem is EntityObject &&
                ((EntityObject)originalItem).EntityState != System.Data.EntityState.Added)
            {
                Product origProduct = originalItem as Product;
                origProduct.CategoryID == product.CategoryID;//set foreign key again to change the relationship status
                context.ApplyPropertyChanges(
                    key.EntitySetName, product);

            }
        }context.SaveChanges();

For sure it's looks hacky. I think that the reason is because the EF relationships have status as entities (modified, added, deleted) and based on that status EF changes the value of foreign keys or deletes row if many to many relationship is in case. For some reason (don't know why) the relationship status is not changed the same as property status. That is why I had to set the CategoryReference.EntityKey on originalItem in order to change the status of the relationship.


I'm a huge fan of Japanese role playing games which has become a dying genre. The Playstation had a wealth of jrpgs over its life span but in the first two years of the consoles release there wasn't much in the way of jrpgs (Beyond the Beyond which was terrible and Persona which was a mess). My parents had taken me to CompUSA to let me pick out a game and unfortunately, CompUSA didn't have much of anything I wanted but I wasn't leaving until I found a game. I came across Suikoden which had some terrible box art (later do you realize the cover has almost zero to do with the game) but the gameplay pictures on the back on the case looked like something I would dig but I wasn't ready to seal the deal just off a few pictures. I went to the magazine rack and started flipping through an issue of EGM2 and it actually had a walkthrough of sorts (EGM2 at the time was full of guides and what not, wasn't a magazine that typically had reviews) for recruiting all 108 playable characters. 108 PLAYABLE CHARACTERS!? Sold!
Visually, the game isn't impressive, it looked like I was still playing a SNES game (a great soundtrack though more than makes up for that). The charm of the game though is the characters and the story. You play as a character who is the son of a great general and through setting out on a few missions for the empire, comes to find out about corruption and has to make the choice to look the other way or fight against it. 20 hours gets you through the game but if your looking to recruit all the characters, upgrade everything and find all the hidden items, it goes way past 50 hours.
The physical copy of the game might be a bit pricey to hunt down but at last check it was downloadable on the Playstation store. This cold be the best $10 you spend all year.
I don't want to give much a way even thought this game is near 20 years old but if its a game better left to experience with not much knowledge of what happens. If I was putting together a list of my top 5 games, this would be in the top 3.
I feel the same way about this game. Knowing too much of what's going to happen in it really ruins the effect of the first playthrough. I still like replaying it but I always remember how that first time felt.

Iran strikes Kurdish opposition forces in Iraqi Kurdistan
Iranian Revolutionary Guards on Thursday used artillery and drones to attack Kurdish forces based in neighbouring Iraq's northern Kurdistan region, the Iranian state media IRIB reported.
"In this operation, the headquarters of those conspiring against Iran's national security was destroyed," IRIB quoted the Revolutionary Guards as saying about the latest attack on the rebels based in neighbouring Iraq.
There are frequent clashes in the remote and mountainous border region between Iranian security forces and Iranian-Kurdish armed groups opposed to the Tehran government.
Iran's assaults came days after a top commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned Iraqi and Kurdish authorities that they could launch cross-border assaults on opposition groups based in the Kurdistan Region.
Mohammed Pakpour, the commander of IRGC's ground forces was quoted by Tasnim News Agency on Monday, threatening officials of Kurdistan Region for what he called "terrorist activities" of Kurdish-Iranian opposition parties located in the region.
In a joint statement, a group of Kurdish political parties condemned the threats, and said they will hold Tehran responsible for any harm to civilian populations.
Iranian forces periodically shell border areas with the Kurdistan Region.
Several Iranian Kurdish armed opposition groups have their bases in the Kurdistan Region's mountains. They sometimes clash with Iranian security forces in the Kurdish areas of western Iran
In the joint statement from Kurdish parties, issued by the Cooperation Center of Iranian Kurdistan political parties, they condemned Iran's threats and said they will hold Tehran responsible for any harm done to civilian populations and property, and the environment.

Louise Lawler: Receptions
Why Pictures Now
Covers the forty-year creative practice of Louise Lawler, one of the most influential artists working in the fields of picture-making and institutional critique.
ISBN: 9781633450233 Category: Artist Monographs
Roxana Marcoci
Published in conjunction with a major survey of the artist Louise Lawler, this catalogue charts the creative practice of one of the most influential artists working in the fields of picture-making and institutional critique. Since the 1970s, Lawler has expanded from a feminist position upon the legacy of institutional critique initiated by an earlier generation of Conceptual artists, including Marcel Broodthaers, Daniel Buren and Michael Asher, and methods of appropriation in parallel with certain artists of her generation, such as Sherrie Levine, Cindy Sherman, Sarah Charlesworth and Richard Prince. Engaging a variety of art-world positions, including that of artist, curator, fact-checker, publicist and photo editor, Lawler has distinguished herself as one of the most creative artists of our age. Presenting Lawler's multifaceted practice across mediums – photography, sound work, film, objects and mural-scale installations – this book offers new critical perspectives through eight essays by renowned scholars that unpack her tight, witty, thought-provoking work. The rich selection of plates comprehensively records the artist's practice to date and underscores the radical inventiveness of Lawler's practice. The performative nature of Lawler's practice is mirrored in the design of the book's dust jacket; when turned inside out, it features a signature Lawler picture as an 'adjusted to fit' poster. The book is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in late-20th and early-21st-century art.

Ilya Vinitsky is Professor of Russian literature in the Slavic Department at Princeton University. His main fields of expertise are Russian Romanticism and Realism, the history of emotions, and nineteenth- century intellectual and spiritual history. His books include Vasily Zhukovsky's Romanticism and the Emotional History of Russia (Northwestern University Press, 2015), Ghostly Paradoxes: Modern Spiritualism and Russian Culture in the Age of Realism (Toronto University Press, 2009; Choice Magazine's list of Outstanding Academic Titles for 2010) and A Cultural History of Russian Literature, co-written with Andrew Baruch Wachtel (Polity Press, 2009). He also co-edited Madness and the Mad in Russian Culture (University of Toronto Press, 2007) and published a chapter on the history of madness in literature and art in the recent Routledge History of Madness & Mental Health. His most personal book, The Count of Sardinia: Dmitry Khvostov and Russian Culture (New Literary Observer, 2017; in Russian) investigates the phenomenon of anti-poetry in Russian literary tradition from the 18th through the 21st century and focuses on the literary biography and cultural function of the king of Russian bad poets, Count Dmitry Khvostov. This book received a 2018 Marc Raeff's Book Prize of the Eighteenth-Century Russian Studies Association.
For the period of the 2019-2020 Guggenheim Fellowship, Ilya Vinitsky will work on his new research project on the cultural biography and political imagination of Ivan Narodny, a Russian-Estonian-American "revolutionist," arms dealer, journalist, writer, art critic and promoter. The "founder" of the "United States of Russia" and the author of its Declaration of Independence, he was also the creator of numerous heretofore unidentified literary frauds and mystifications, including the legend of Shamballa (source of the celebrated novel and film "Lost Horizon"), which spread all over the world via the Hearst newspaper agency that employed him. The project aims to develop a new interdisciplinary methodology for analyzing the phenomenon exemplified by this conman and, eventually, to lay the foundation for a new historical (sub)discipline dealing with the formation and cultural values of liars, forgers, and mystifiers.

when I click on a button in the tree page it works but I have to set the information before open it

A: You have to change the datatype of selectedNode from a single object of type TreeNode to an array container of TreeNode(s).
change
private TreeNode selectedNode;

to
private TreeNode[] selectedNodes;

because you set selectionMode="checkbox" where multiple rows can be selected, and these need to be stored in an array.

User experience is the science and art of designing a product like a website or a software application so that it's easy to use. So that it fits the expectation that the user has for it, and so that it meets business goals.
There's a whole methodology around designing a user experience, and sometimes people ask me is it worth it to do all that work to design a user experience?
So let's talk about the return on investment, or ROI, of doing user experience work.
IEEE is a professional organization that puts out reports and does research for programmers, developers, and engineers, and they put out an article called "Why Software Fails".
Here's some interesting data from that article.
They estimate that the amount of money that is spent worldwide in information technology is estimated at one trillion dollars a year. The percent of projects that are abandoned because they are hopelessly inadequate is up to 15 percent of all projects.
The percent of revenue that goes to the IT group is five percent of a company's total revenue and up to ten percent if it's a financial or telecommunications company.
The amount of time that programmers spend on rework that is actually avoidable is 50 percent of their time.
The cost of fixing an error after development is 100 times that of fixing an error before development of the project is completed.
Of the top 12 reasons that projects fail, three of the top 12 are directly related to what we would call user experience or user-centered design work, and those three are badly defined requirements; poor communication among customers, developers, and users; and stakeholder politics.
So the kind of work that, that user experience professionals give, stakeholder interviews, user research, user testing, user centered design.
These are all things that can fix at least three of those 12 reasons why software fails.
You actually can calculate the savings or additional revenue or benefit that you get from approving your user experience in the product.

Commercial concentrating solar power (CSP) plants, also called "solar thermal power stations", were first developed in the 1980s. The 377 MW Ivanpah Solar Power Facility, located in California's Mojave Desert, is the world's largest solar thermal power plant project. Other large CSP plants include the Solnova Solar Power Station (150 MW), the Andasol solar power station (150 MW), and Extresol Solar Power Station (150 MW), all in Spain. The principal advantage of CSP is the ability to efficiently add thermal storage, allowing the dispatching of electricity over up to a 24-hour period. Since peak electricity demand typically occurs at about 5 pm, many CSP power plants use 3 to 5 hours of thermal storage.[65]
The energy payback time (EPBT) of a power generating system is the time required to generate as much energy as is consumed during production and lifetime operation of the system. Due to improving production technologies the payback time has been decreasing constantly since the introduction of PV systems in the energy market.[128] In 2000 the energy payback time of PV systems was estimated as 8 to 11 years[129] and in 2006 this was estimated to be 1.5 to 3.5 years for crystalline silicon PV systems[121] and 1–1.5 years for thin film technologies (S. Europe).[121] These figures fell to 0.75–3.5 years in 2013, with an average of about 2 years for crystalline silicon PV and CIS systems.[130]
Coal is our dirtiest source of energy. It releases more harmful pollutants into the atmosphere than any other energy source and produces a quarter of the nation's global warming emissions. If we are going to effectively reduce air pollution and address global warming, we need to shut down the oldest, dirtiest coal plants—and not build new ones to replace them.
Most in the industry agree that 11 m/s (24.6 mph) makes for a good rated wind speed. Go above it and very soon the turbine should be hard at work to protect itself from destruction, by furling, governing, or shutting down. Those that do not will likely face a short and tortured life. If we agree on 11 m/s, an equation for a realistic rated power number is as follows:
High Temperature Geothermal energy is from thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy is the energy that determines the temperature of matter. Earth's geothermal energy originates from the original formation of the planet and from radioactive decay of minerals (in currently uncertain[56] but possibly roughly equal[57] proportions). The geothermal gradient, which is the difference in temperature between the core of the planet and its surface, drives a continuous conduction of thermal energy in the form of heat from the core to the surface. The adjective geothermal originates from the Greek roots geo, meaning earth, and thermos, meaning heat.
With our 7 to 11 blade models, you'll get power generation in low wind areas. Regions and locations with high wind speeds are perfect for 3 to 5 blade configurations. No matter your location, we have the ideal wind turbine and blade set combination for you! Feel free to contact one of our many sales associates or technicians to get you started, to improve an existing setup, or to further your project.
Going forward, there is hope for the small wind future! Certification programs are under way in various places to provide real turbine performance data. In North America this is being spearheaded by the Small Wind Certification Council, which requires third-party certification of turbine performance in a standardized fashion. Manufacturers will no longer be able to fudge power curves, or specify 'rated power' at hurricane-force wind speeds. This will allow you, the consumer, to compare turbines on a much more even footing.
Many of the largest operational onshore wind farms are located in the USA and China. The Gansu Wind Farm in China has over 5,000 MW installed with a goal of 20,000 MW by 2020. China has several other "wind power bases" of similar size. The Alta Wind Energy Center in California is the largest onshore wind farm outside of China, with a capacity of 1020 MW of power.[141] Europe leads in the use of wind power with almost 66 GW, about 66 percent of the total globally, with Denmark in the lead according to the countries installed per-capita capacity.[142] As of February 2012, the Walney Wind Farm in United Kingdom is the largest offshore wind farm in the world at 367 MW, followed by Thanet Wind Farm (300 MW), also in the UK.
Airflows can be used to run wind turbines. Modern utility-scale wind turbines range from around 600 kW to 5 MW of rated power, although turbines with rated output of 1.5–3 MW have become the most common for commercial use. The largest generator capacity of a single installed onshore wind turbine reached 7.5 MW in 2015. The power available from the wind is a function of the cube of the wind speed, so as wind speed increases, power output increases up to the maximum output for the particular turbine.[42] Areas where winds are stronger and more constant, such as offshore and high altitude sites, are preferred locations for wind farms. Typically full load hours of wind turbines vary between 16 and 57 percent annually, but might be higher in particularly favorable offshore sites.[43]
Despite these diverse developments, developments in fossil fuel systems almost entirely eliminated any wind turbine systems larger than supermicro size. In the early 1970s, however, anti-nuclear protests in Denmark spurred artisan mechanics to develop microturbines of 22 kW. Organizing owners into associations and co-operatives lead to the lobbying of the government and utilities and provided incentives for larger turbines throughout the 1980s and later. Local activists in Germany, nascent turbine manufacturers in Spain, and large investors in the United States in the early 1990s then lobbied for policies that stimulated the industry in those countries.
Solar and wind are Intermittent energy sources that supply electricity 10-40% of the time. To compensate for this characteristic, it is common to pair their production with already existing hydroelectricity or natural gas generation. In regions where this isn't available, wind and solar can be paired with significantly more expensive pumped-storage hydroelectricity.
Technology advances are opening up a huge new market for solar power: the approximately 1.3 billion people around the world who don't have access to grid electricity. Even though they are typically very poor, these people have to pay far more for lighting than people in rich countries because they use inefficient kerosene lamps. Solar power costs half as much as lighting with kerosene.[136] As of 2010, an estimated 3 million households get power from small solar PV systems.[137] Kenya is the world leader in the number of solar power systems installed per capita. More than 30,000 very small solar panels, each producing 1[138]2 to 30 watts, are sold in Kenya annually. Some Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are also turning to solar power to reduce their costs and increase their sustainability.
Permanent magnets for wind turbine generators contain rare earth metals such as Nd, Pr, Tb, and Dy. Systems that use magnetic direct drive turbines require higher amounts of rare metals. Therefore, an increase in wind production would increase the demand for these resources. It is estimated that the additional demand for Nd in 2035 may be 4,000 to 18,000 tons and Dy could see an increase of 200 to 1200 tons. These values represent a quarter to half of current production levels. However, since technologies are developing rapidly, driven by supply and price of materials these estimated levels are extremely uncertain.[55]
Energy storage is a collection of methods used to store electrical energy on an electrical power grid, or off it. Electrical energy is stored during times when production (especially from intermittent power plants such as renewable electricity sources such as wind power, tidal power, solar power) exceeds consumption, and returned to the grid when production falls below consumption. Pumped-storage hydroelectricity is used for more than 90% of all grid power storage. Costs of lithium ion batteries are dropping rapidly, and are increasingly being deployed as fast acting sources of grid power (i.e. operating reserve) and for domestic storage.
A typical house usually requires a home wind turbine with a 5 kW generating capacity to meet all its energy requirements. A turbine that offers this much power would have to be around 13 to 18 feet in diameter and positioned in an area where strong winds often pass through. There are also plenty of smaller, cheaper turbines, but these variants produce less power and are less reliable than their more expensive counterparts.
Brazil has one of the largest renewable energy programs in the world, involving production of ethanol fuel from sugar cane, and ethanol now provides 18 percent of the country's automotive fuel. As a result of this, together with the exploitation of domestic deep water oil sources, Brazil, which years ago had to import a large share of the petroleum needed for domestic consumption, recently reached complete self-sufficiency in oil.[36][37][38]
Globally, the long-term technical potential of wind energy is believed to be five times total current global energy production, or 40 times current electricity demand, assuming all practical barriers needed were overcome. This would require wind turbines to be installed over large areas, particularly in areas of higher wind resources, such as offshore. As offshore wind speeds average ~90% greater than that of land, so offshore resources can contribute substantially more energy than land stationed turbines.[44] In 2014 global wind generation was 706 terawatt-hours or 3% of the worlds total electricity.[45]
In an electricity system without grid energy storage, generation from stored fuels (coal, biomass, natural gas, nuclear) must be go up and down in reaction to the rise and fall of solar electricity (see load following power plant). While hydroelectric and natural gas plants can quickly follow solar being intermittent due to the weather, coal, biomass and nuclear plants usually take considerable time to respond to load and can only be scheduled to follow the predictable variation. Depending on local circumstances, beyond about 20–40% of total generation, grid-connected intermittent sources like solar tend to require investment in some combination of grid interconnections, energy storage or demand side management. Integrating large amounts of solar power with existing generation equipment has caused issues in some cases. For example, in Germany, California and Hawaii, electricity prices have been known to go negative when solar is generating a lot of power, displacing existing baseload generation contracts.[107][108]
"California Invests in 'By Location' Distributed Energy Resources" • California leads the US with several pilot projects to reward rooftop solar energy generators and other distributed energy resources in specific locations as an alternative to having utilities meet needs by investing in upgrading their electricity generation networks. [CleanTechnica]
A turbine that produces around 5 kW worth of energy can produce approximately 8,000 kWh per year, assuming there are decent winds to power it. Given ideal conditions, you will be able to recoup your investment in three to five years, depending on your monthly energy consumption and other related factors. If, however, your property doesn't get enough wind then it may take a little more time to recover your initial investment.
Electricity for my off-grid cabin comes from solar and wind power stored in a bank of four 6-volt golf cart batteries wired for a 12-volt system. A charge controller and battery minder keep my system from under- or overcharging. The whole shebang cost me less than $1,000, and I have lights, fans, a television and stereo, refrigeration, and a disco ball that goes up for special occasions.
Climate change and global warming concerns, coupled with high oil prices, peak oil, and increasing government support, are driving increasing renewable energy legislation, incentives and commercialization.[10] New government spending, regulation and policies helped the industry weather the global financial crisis better than many other sectors.[24] According to a 2011 projection by the International Energy Agency, solar power generators may produce most of the world's electricity within 50 years, reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases that harm the environment.[25]

Most horizontal axis turbines have their rotors upwind of its supporting tower. Downwind machines have been built, because they don't need an additional mechanism for keeping them in line with the wind. In high winds, the blades can also be allowed to bend which reduces their swept area and thus their wind resistance. Despite these advantages, upwind designs are preferred, because the change in loading from the wind as each blade passes behind the supporting tower can cause damage to the turbine.
The journal, Renewable Energy, seeks to promote and disseminate knowledge on the various topics and technologies of renewable energy systems and components. The journal aims to serve researchers, engineers, economists, manufacturers, NGOs, associations and societies to help them keep abreast of new developments in their specialist fields and to apply alternative energy solutions to current practices.
In a twist that has some Republicans in this oil- and gas-rich state whistling Dixie, Ross is now friends with Al Gore, who featured Ross in An Inconvenient Sequel, the 2017 follow-up to An Inconvenient Truth, his Oscar-winning documentary about global warming. "We bonded right away," Ross recalls. "I said, 'Mr. Vice President, we've got a lot in common. You invented the internet. I invented green energy.'" Trained as an accountant, Ross still works as one—being mayor of Georgetown is a part-time job—and there's no mistaking his zeal for the other kind of green. When conservatives complain about his energy politics, he is quick to remind them that the city has the lowest effective tax rate in Central Texas.
Taken together, the generation and distribution of electric power in the United States is an astonishingly complex undertaking. Utilities may generate their own power or buy it from other utilities; that power travels over a grid of transformers and high- and low-voltage lines to your house. Ownership of utilities varies from nonprofits to cooperatives to for-profits. Federal regulators ultimately oversee the grid. Amazingly, when you flip a switch, electricity is there.
This items including : 2pcs 400W wind turbine with grid tie controller ,2pcs waterproof grid tie inverter ! Why Off Grid Systems Should Include Wind? Wind provides power at night. Wind is strongest during the winter months when solar resources are limited. Wind provides power during poor weather conditions. Air density is higher in colder weather and maximizes power production.
Climate change concerns coupled with high oil prices and increasing government support are driving increasing rates of investment in the sustainable energy industries, according to a trend analysis from the United Nations Environment Programme. According to UNEP, global investment in sustainable energy in 2007 was higher than previous levels, with $148 billion of new money raised in 2007, an increase of 60% over 2006. Total financial transactions in sustainable energy, including acquisition activity, was $204 billion.[64]
Technologies promote sustainable energy including renewable energy sources, such as hydroelectricity, solar energy, wind energy, wave power,[citation needed] geothermal energy, bioenergy, tidal power and also technologies designed to improve energy efficiency. Costs have decreased immensely throughout the years, and continue to fall. Increasingly, effective government policies support investor confidence and these markets are expanding. Considerable progress is being made in the energy transition from fossil fuels to ecologically sustainable systems, to the point where many studies support 100% renewable energy.
The picture the company is using to sell this on Amazon is not of the turbine they are selling, but a picture of the best-selling South-West Windpower Air X turbine and I bought this item believing it to be this turbine. I also have one of these turbines which has run faultlessly now for 7 years. I am very disappointed with the Sunforce and often feel like throwing into the sea! It's a piece of junk!!
While the material cost is significantly higher for all-glass fiber blades than for hybrid glass/carbon fiber blades, there is a potential for tremendous savings in manufacturing costs when labor price is considered. Utilizing carbon fiber enables for simpler designs that use less raw material. The chief manufacturing process in blade fabrication is the layering of plies. By reducing the number of layers of plies, as is enabled by thinner blade design, the cost of labor may be decreased, and in some cases, equate to the cost of labor for glass fiber blades.[51]
The use of a gearbox allows for better matching of the generator speed to that of the turbine but the disadvantage of using a gearbox is that as a mechanical component it is subjected to wear and tear reducing the efficiency of the system. Direct drive however may be more simple and efficient, but the generators rotor shaft and bearings are subjected to the full weight and rotational force of the rotor blades.
"What Changes Will Maine's New Government Bring to Your Life?" • Swept to sizable majorities in last week's elections, Maine's Democrats will be in full control of state government for the first time since 2010.

Common battery technologies used in today's home PV systems include, the valve regulated lead-acid battery– a modified version of the conventional lead–acid battery, nickel–cadmium and lithium-ion batteries. Lead-acid batteries are currently the predominant technology used in small-scale, residential PV systems, due to their high reliability, low self discharge and investment and maintenance costs, despite shorter lifetime and lower energy density. However, lithium-ion batteries have the potential to replace lead-acid batteries in the near future, as they are being intensively developed and lower prices are expected due to economies of scale provided by large production facilities such as the Gigafactory 1. In addition, the Li-ion batteries of plug-in electric cars may serve as a future storage devices in a vehicle-to-grid system. Since most vehicles are parked an average of 95 percent of the time, their batteries could be used to let electricity flow from the car to the power lines and back. Other rechargeable batteries used for distributed PV systems include, sodium–sulfur and vanadium redox batteries, two prominent types of a molten salt and a flow battery, respectively.[114][115][116]
Low Temperature Geothermal[29] refers to the use of the outer crust of the earth as a Thermal Battery to facilitate Renewable thermal energy for heating and cooling buildings, and other refrigeration and industrial uses. In this form of Geothermal, a Geothermal Heat Pump and Ground-coupled heat exchanger are used together to move heat energy into the earth (for cooling) and out of the earth (for heating) on a varying seasonal basis. Low temperature Geothermal (generally referred to as "GHP") is an increasingly important renewable technology because it both reduces total annual energy loads associated with heating and cooling, and it also flattens the electric demand curve eliminating the extreme summer and winter peak electric supply requirements. Thus Low Temperature Geothermal/GHP is becoming an increasing national priority with multiple tax credit support[60] and focus as part of the ongoing movement toward Net Zero Energy.[61][30] New York City has even just passed a law[62] to require GHP anytime is shown to be economical with 20 year financing including the Socialized Cost of Carbon.[63][64]
The Stirling solar dish combines a parabolic concentrating dish with a Stirling engine which normally drives an electric generator. The advantages of Stirling solar over photovoltaic cells are higher efficiency of converting sunlight into electricity and longer lifetime. Parabolic dish systems give the highest efficiency among CSP technologies.[18] The 50 kW Big Dish in Canberra, Australia is an example of this technology.[14]


With a combined 150+ billion app downloads each month in the Apple App and Google Play stores, there is clearly a large and exponentially growing market for mobile apps. But with over three million apps out there, the scale of this market means that the challenge of promoting your product comes with high levels of competition.
App Store Optimisation (ASO) is comprised of techniques used to help an app be found organically in the app stores through both search and category drill-downs. The theory behind ASO as it pertains to apps is very similar to SEO as it pertains to websites. The steps involved in app store optimisation involve selecting the right categories for your app, as well as optimising your app's title, description, and keyword elements for popular and relevant app store keyword searches.
In order to select the right categories for your app in the various app stores, the obvious first step is to look at the categories that best fit your app. From there, it's best to drill down by looking at the categories of your top performing competitors. Another factor to be on the lookout for is categories with relatively low competition, making it easier for your app to rise towards the top.
There are a number of tools that can be used to help identify the most relevant keywords for your app that people are searching for. Understand which specific keyword(s) users are searching that indicate they have the intent to find what it is the app offers. Insert that keyword into the app title, description, and keywords (Apple) sections of the app's store page.
The volume of downloads and installations, as well as the frequency of user reviews, also have an effect on where your app ranks within searches and categories. App developers and marketers, however, do not have the same level of control of these elements as they do over app titles, descriptions, etc. An app must be discovered before it can be downloaded and reviewed. For that reason, app store optimisation alone is not enough to break through the competition. Paid campaigns must also be used to drive these metrics and increase the engaged user base.
A burst campaign is a paid campaign through a variety of ad networks used to quickly push an app to the top charts within the app stores. Because app popularity is a key metric used by app stores in featuring apps in the top charts, concentrating ad spend into a short time period can lift your app into these charts.
Implementing a burst campaign when your app launches provides a great jump start for the app's visibility. Also, in addition to the total volume of app installations and reviews, those since the last update play a key factor in keyword/category rankings. Therefore it is a best practice to launch a burst campaign each time the app is updated.
The app stores use the ratio of installations versus uninstallations as a signal of app quality. If a high percentage of those who download an app uninstall it, that will negatively affect the app's positioning in search and category results. The key to improving user retention is understanding what causes uninstallations through deep analyses.
There are a number of app analytics platforms and other tracking tools, such as the free platform Flurry, that can be used to track user behaviour. Look for clues as to where the drop-off points are within the app, as well as how long after installation users tend to uninstall.
The real user retention gold lies in the user reviews within the app stores. Constantly monitoring reviews is essential to pinpoint the common pain points of those who installed the app. It is also vital to communicate with reviewers by asking how their experience can be improved, letting them know about upcoming improvements, and thanking them for their input.
In addition to these core app promotion techniques, there are many creative ways to promote an app. These three steps, however, should be considered in any app marketing campaign.
